Chargers LB Foley Being Charged With DUI

It seems like we talk about a DUI in the NFL at SportsRx on a weekly basis. Well here's another one, although this is from over a month ago, the courts have finally put the hammer down on one San Diego Charger.

Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was charged Wednesday with drunken driving stemming from a confrontation last month with an off-duty Coronado police officer that resulted in Foley being shot three times.

His arraignment on two counts of misdemeanor DUI was scheduled for Oct. 18, but he is not required to attend. His attorney can enter a plea for him.

Police said Foley, who had been partying in downtown San Diego, had a blood-alcohol level of .233 percent nearly three times California's legal limit of .08.

The charges carry enhancements that include being charged with DUI within 10 years of a prior conviction and having a blood-alcohol level exceeding .15. Foley has been arrested at least five times since 1999, including cases that police say involved alcohol and confrontations with officers.
